BEDINGTON NEWS.

Mr.. L. Z. Mayhem is recovering
from his paralytic stroke.
Mr.. Edward Mayhem, a former
residence of this place, but at pres
ent of Canton, Mo-, is here, having
been called home by the illness OF
his father. Judging from his ap
pearance the West agrees with him.
Mr.. Milton Porterfeld, formerly
of this neighborhood, but now OF
Washington Co., Nd, was given
grand reception by his parents last
week in honor of his wedding.
Our school Is now without a
teacher, Mr.. C. Wable having re-
signed for a more lucrative position.
This is not proper state of affairs
and should be carefully guarded
against. We trust ere long some
one well qualified to discharge that
responsible duty will be procured.

SELLING OUT TO CAMDEN.

Tho latest news from Charleston
is to the effect that the Republicans
have been won over to Camden,
the argument is that Camden is
preferable to free-trader. The
Henry G. Davis deal over. Are the
Republicans responsible for free
trades Let them have free-trade.
The responsibility of the experience
will be upon the Democratic party.
and the popular result will be in
favor of the Republican party as it
has been every time the foreign
delusion was tried.
There is not Republican paper
in the State that favors a Camden
deal.
The true cause Of the sell out is
money or political considerations to
some of the so-called Republican
leaders.
No honest Republican can ever
support a man who votes for Cam
den. for such a man will carry
(skunk-like) the smell Of coal oil to
his grave.
Instead of Democratic disruption
and defeat in 1883, the Republican
party will be dlckered out as Cam
den spoils, and the people, on the
eve of realizing the better things
promised, will fall back into the po-
litical mire deeper than before.
The people of this State are
ground down with taxes, crushed by
monopolies, toyed with and sold out
by a set or political leaders on both
sides, who care as little for the pub.
lie as cat does for a mouse, and
use the public much in the same
way.
The sole purpose ofpolitical leader
ship sself-aggrandizement; to keep
in with those on top all around, and
then the people can drag along,
taxed and licensed to death, bound
down by arbitrary laws imposed
upon them by corruption, and them
selves regarded as no better than
traffic to the highest bidder.
1t is high time that the people re
bel against all political machinery
and try some other means for theiI
own benefit and protection.

5.-The teacher must possess fair
share of patience.
If there is calling in the world which
requires large stock of this article, it
is the teacher. There is occasion for it
every day, as every teacher can testify
from his experience in pedagogics. This
is tax laid upon every teacher that
must be ungrudgingly paid in cash, with
out moiety of discount. There is no
appeal from it. 1t is as fixed, positive
and unalterable law as that of the
Modes and Persians. Both parents and
children assist in imposing this tax and
they expect it to be paid as surely as one
and one make two. 1t is just as neces-
sary an element in the requisites of a
teacher as the payment of tax to sustain
the government. Teacher. if you do not
possess this attribute in the makeup
of your character, then l advise you to
decline teachers position and go to
mauling rails instead.
The mature mind is apt to expect too
much of young and undeveloped intel
lect. 1t requires patience to bring about
its growth and expansion. Mighty pow
er lies latent in the mind of a child.
How necessary that it should be SO
brought out, developed and directed
that it may become force for good and
not for evil.
Look at the history of single seed
What world of mystery lies concentrat-
ed in its bosom! Law it in the soft, warm
earth, and wait for wonders. Gradual
ly its hidden life begins to struggle ear
nestly towards a manifestation. Its
bosom begins to SWELL The fibres of its
warm and glowing heart reach forth and
lay hold of the surrounding earth. The
tender germ begins to creep upward to
seek the light, and soon we behold the
plant, the flower, the fruit.
The seed is symbol of the mind.
There is an organic life and growth of
the mind as well as of vegetation, but of
an infinitely higher order,-one which
unbosoms an energy of the most won
derful manifestations. The one is fully
developed in short time. while the 9th
er requires lifetime. The one requires
no appliance beyond nature for its devel-
opment, the other needs many and needs
them long. The one perishes, the other
reaches into the forever and may it
not even then still grow and expand in
infinite progression, yet never reach the
Deity. How serious the thought its des-
tiny may be affected in no small degree
by the nature of its training in life.
The development of the mind, then,
being slow and gradual, patience must
be exercised on the part of the teacher,
